WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 6, 1843. MR. CLAYTON Returned to town about two o'clock this afternoon, He alighted on terra firma about five miles east of Newark, after being up in the atmosphere an hour and a half. We do not learn the particulars of his serial excursion, but presume they will be furnished for publication. MOVEMENT OF THE WATERS. In nearly every section of the State we perceive our friends are awakening- to the importance of tho approaching election. There is every encouragement to hope that the spirit of 1840 will be fully roused again, and with not loss glorious results. We notice, with feelings of peculiar satisfaction, the proceedings of a county meeting, at Warren, Trumbull county, on the STJd ult Gen. William Riplet, President, Richard Innings and Samuel Pansier, Vice Presidents, and Hiram Baldwin and Kidney W. Harris, Secretaries. The meeting was ably addressed by Messrs. Crowe! 1, Wade, Newton and Ford. A scries of spirited resolutions were adopted, for which we wish we had room in the State Journal. We extract a few of these however. This is tho first meeting that has been held in Trumbull, says the W. K. Chronicle, since the prospects of the country were so cruelly blighted by the death of the good Harrison, for the purpose of concentrating the efforts and urging forward the prominent principles of die Whig party. The beginning is a good one, end we hope "it will be followed up with Uie zeal and effect which a good cause should ever inspire. The whigs of Trumbull should bear in mind, that the result of tho election in their county this full is of tho utmost importance, and that tho eyes of the whole State are upon them. With a proper effort, success is certain without it, not only is their own defeut and mortification equally certain, but the endeavors of their friends throughout the State may he irretrievably blasted. The following resolutions adopted by tho meeting are of the right stamp, and will be cordially responded to by the true friends of the country every where-: Resolved, That tho dopendance upon foreign countries, for the necessaries or conveniences of life, is inconsistent with the just rights of our citizens, and the principles of our free institutions. Resolved, That our indceridcnce is incomplete, so long as our workshops are in Europe, and we are obliged to procure abroad any portion of the means of subsistence in time of peace, or of defence in wor. from foreign countries, Resolved, That it is as ruinous to tho prosperity of tho country, as it is unjust to the people, to send tne precious metals abroad to purchase foreign manufactures, when the samo article can bo made at home by our own citizens. Resolved, That wo repudiate tho theory of " freo trade " as dclusivo and impracticable, and wholly unjust and inapplicable to our c in: u instances in the great family of nations, so long as Great Britain and other foreign countries exact from us, as they now do, a duty upon the products of our soul and industry, varying from twenty-five to nineteen hundred nor cent, for the plain reason that "froo trade." on such terms, is like tho handle of a jug, all on one side. Resolved, That tho division of labor among the various employments, agricultural, manufacturing, and mechanical, enhuncos its vahis and renders it more productive, and thereby promotes the comfort and prosperity of the whole. Rrsolvtd, That we hnvo os little confidence in, or respect for that species of democracy" which would persuade us to purchase tram foreigners, uie articles which our own mechanics and manufacturers can supply, as we have for the patriotism of those who profess it Remtved, That well regulated banks, in our opinion, arc convenient for the people, and necessary and bene lie ial in transacting the business of Uie country and that their destruction, now sought to be accomplished by a portion of our political opponents, would be attended with tho most disastrous consequences.Resolretl, That the proceeds of the sales of public lands rightfully belong to the slates, and tho distribution bill passed at tho extra session of Congress meets our cordial approbation, and our representative in Congress is hereby instructed to opjwse all attempts to repeal it Resolved. That the unceasing denunciations of the self-styled "democracy" against the distribution of the proceeds of tho sales ot the public lands among the Slates, by which tho taxes upon tho people will be lessened and their burthens lightened, furnishes additional proof of their utter disregard of the welfare of the people, and of their unreasonable and reckless hostility to their interests. Resolved That wo heartily respond to the nomination of Thomas Corwin for tho re-election to tho office of Governor of this State, and pledge ourselves to use all honorable means to secure his success. GOV. DORR. The miserable wretch who has succeeded but too noorly in plunging the State of Rhode Island into all the horrors of a civil strife, is liko to find every part of Uie Union tco hot to hold and protect him from the just punishment due his unnatural crimes. Ho is now a "fugitive and an outcast" and a "price is ant upon his head." He has heretofore found a safe retreat in Connecticut, as Uio Loro Foco Governor Cleveland has refused to deliver him up on Uie re- quisition of Gov. King; but the New York Plcbian, one of his sympathisers, and well informed on such subjects, says Ui.it Gov, C. has reconsidered his do-terminaUon, and will now surrender hi in. Dorr will find no safety this side of Canada. If some of Uie more "respectable of his advisers and instigators could bo compelled to share his disgrace and ruin, justice would be cheated of hut fewor of its victims. RHODE ISLAND. Tho war is pretty much over in Rhode Island ; but the details are so interesting that we deem it proper to make rather copious extracts from Uie Provideiico Journal of Thursday : From the Providence Journal. or nr. at no. til. Head Quarters, Division or R. Islam Forces. Tockwotton House, Protidr nee, June 181'J. The Major General Commanding, has pleasure in announcing that there is now no immediate call for a continuance of the patriotic services of the troops, tn the JUld. They are, therefore, at liberty to retire, for the present to their respective homes, where they will await further orders. The Quartermaster's Department will furnish Uie proper transportation to facilitate the execution of tins onter. Until further directions, the Head Quirt era of the Major General will bo continued at the Toe k wot ton House all communications will accordingly be addressed to the Adjutant General, as usual. By order of Major General Mc-Nkim,: Ei.isha Dvkr, Jr., Adjutant General. Arrival or Taoors ad Prisoners. Nearly all the troops were ordered from Chepachet yesterday and arrived here with about KMJ prisoners at five o'clock. Tho City Guard went out to escort them, and as their arrival was generally expected, the windows and doom of the streets Uirough which they passed were crowded with spectators, and a dense mass assembled in Market Square to welcome the return ot their gallant lellow-citizons. Wo ne ver remember to have seen Uie streets so crowded, Handkerchiefs waved from the windows, cheers as cended from Uio sidewalks, and a perfect shower of now era toil on both aides ot the way. IN early every soldier had a boquot in his hand or stuck at Uie end or hta musket: Uio bridles of Uie horse were omi merited with thorn, and Uio cannons were wreathed round from the imixxle to the breech, NoUiing could oxceed Uie enthusiasm and delight which was manifested on the feature of Uie fair facet that miled from everv window. Gen. Ntedmanv Brigade, the Third, brought in about Uiirty prisoners i Uiat brigade mustered about 500. The prisoner were inarclwd to Uie State Pri- son. Col. Brown, with tho Morino Artillery and the Light Infantry, followed with Uie other prisoners, about 100; these prisoners were also carried to Uie State Prison. Tho spoils, consisting of Uie captured cannons, drums, muskets, pikes, and munitions of war, were carried along alter uie companies, ana were received with repeated cheers. Including Uie escort, the number of men under aims were about 1,'JOO, and surely a finer sight never gladdened the good old city. The honest yeomanry of Uie State, gallant young men, and noble old men, had returned from Uie performance of Uie highest duty of a republican citizen, the vindication of Uie law; they had put down a traitorous and murderous conspiracy ; they had proved Uiemselvcs worthy of Uie blood that tills their veins, and had shown that the line of a noble ancestry was destined to sutler no disgrace at Uteir hands. To them and to their equally gallant associates who were dismissed yesterday, or who still remain at their posts, are due the Uianks of Uie State, and not only of tho State, but of the Union; for, had Dorr succeeded, the evil would not have been confined to Rhode Island. Every State would have felt the shock, and our republican institutions would havo trembled beneath the blow. But the crisis has been met triumphnntly ; and the great cause of law and order, still rests on its unbroken foundation. The Majobitt. Our readers havo not forgotten the oft-repeated assertions of the Dorr papers in Uie State and out of it that the " People's Constitution " and Dorr's government under it, were supported by the great majority, and that the Charter government was sustained by a small aristocratic minority. Tho truth of this we have always denied ; and the events of this week have fully borne us out in all that we have said to that effect A (Treat majority of tho people of Rhode Island are in favor of the legal government of tho State, and thoroughly opposed to the treacherous usurpation of Dorr and his adherents. Look nt tho noble fellows who are here from every part of Uie State; ore they aristocrats ? Do the sun burnt brows and the toil-hardened hands of the veo- tnanrv of the Southern counties, bear indications of tho " silk-stocking aristocracy " ? These are the men "thnt constitute a State." Their physical force, os well as the moral sense of the people, is with us. More than three thousand men are now in amis to maintain the laws with their lives, and nearly as many more are ready, if called tion. If these be the " minority," where is tho M majority " ? Are tho scattered bunds of Dorr, the men who are hidden through the State, or prisoners taken in arms, that majority ? We trust that the meddling demagogues from oilier States are now satisfied Uiat Rhode Island can take care of herself. Thomas W. Dorh. Authentic intelligence has been received, that Dorr did not leave Thompson as whs supposed, Tuesday, hut Unit he remained there until yesterday morning at two o'clock, when he departed, on horschark, towards Massachusetts. lie whs probably bound for Canada. We trust the reward offered for his apprehension muy be the means of his arrest A Business Hint. Cull on a man of business in business hours, only on business; transact your business, and go about your business, in order to give him time to finish his business. The lack learning Legislature of Connecticut will earn nothing but shame and disgrace in its recent Vandalism. The luw for disfranchising every one engaged in Uie pursuit of learning is worthy only of the dark ages, and even tho monks ot the twelfth century would themselves have been ashamed of such barburism. The students in the literary institutions, Uiemselvcs, are indignant, as they ought to be, at the Hottentots w ho paired Uiclaw. Those of Washington College, at Hartford, have led off in Uie denunciation, and c have no doubt that the example will be followed throughout the State. Tho following resolutions, were adopted by the Washington College Students, and there is not a man in Connecticut with now? enough to keep out of the tire, or "human learning" enough to master Uie elements of Webster's selling book, who will not suy Uie studentsare quite right: Resolutions otlopled by lAe Students of Washington College.

That in singlinff out the Students from every other class of citizens, residing in tho Stato under like circumstances, as me victim oi vgwative tyranny, we recognize a precedent for tho subversion of every principle of justice and republican equality.

CHARLES W. WOOSTKK. CAatrwan. Jamki I Scorr, Semtary. The editor of tho Sun makes mention of having been visited by a Mr. W m. t minis, who avowed him self a candidate for the Presidency, and whom our neighbor speaks of as "a political maniac," Tho Sun savs: " We recommended hi in on leaving to call upon our neighbors of (he Journal, and muko known to them his intentions; that, in caso the great Whig party despaired ot the election ot Air. Llay, they mi ir fit unite upon him is the most available. Stran ger things than Uib have happened. He left us to isit I hem. since which time we havo not seen him. No doubt Uie negotiation was conducted, on boUi sides, in Uie most approved and courtly style. Oh. yes ; it was conducted in courtly style. YV e asked Mr. Si thins what success he met with in Uie ilv. " Pretty good." said he; " I have just seen the smart young man of the Sun, and I think 1 can count upon him. "Is h ready to support you lor Uie Presidency?" wo inquired. "Why not exactly at present," said Mr. S., "ho wishes to support Mr. Van Huron little longer for Uio sake of appcurance; hut he promises to ahuiidon that folly and come out for mo all in good time. My young gentleman seem ed a htile coy at first but lien I tipped him a know- ing wink, and luntrd something alxmt a place in nnr cabinet he verv soon came to terms. And now," added the candidate, "I wish to get the support of the Journal." " hy really, sir, we are pledged to go for Henry Clay ngaiiwt the world." " Oh, I know that." said he: "hut if Mr. Clay dies or withdraws from the canvass, is it not possible that you will sup port nte f " e will trunk of it: are you tn lavnrot negro a mirage and negro testimony r until so.

Are you a natural fool ?' " I flatter myself 1 am not," ho replied. " Then," said we, " wo will support you in preference to John Tyler." Here Uio negotiation ended, and our visitor went off in apparently good spirits. 1 he arrangement between him and the young gentleman of Uio Sun was communicated to us aa a profound secret and wo trust Uiat our reader will so regard it LoHiwUe Journal. Caitbr or the Coistrt's Distress, Tho main cause of distrrse which pervades the country, is plain as tho road to mill. We have bought and con sumed more than we havo sold. Our imports have been many millions of dollars more than our export. 1 hi solves the mystery. J he distress and embarrassment arising from all other sources, would have been but tenijwrary. Bankruptcy and nun tread on the heels of individuals whoso expenses ex coed their income. No law, human or divine, ex empts nation from the same fate. Spain and Portugal are standing monument of the soundness o the maxim, that even inexhaustible mines and rich colonies will not secure the prosperity or happiness of nation Uiat are so musguided a to expose the protective industry otUieir peoplo to destruction, by the overwhelming competition of foreigner. How much stronger and more irresistibly does Uie argu ment apply to the United State, possessing neither mine nor colonic, and whose resources solely de pend on the inula ot their industry, and how carelul ly should Uiat industry be cherished. &dtm Cat.

To add to the interest which the turnout of Uie military and the ascension of Mr. Clayton were cal- ulated to impart to the Fourth, placards were posted Uirough the city on Monday morning, containing the unnunciaUon that Col. Joe Walkxns, a "low down" irginian, would address a meeting in the Market House, in the afternoon, in defence of the Veto. As citizens of Columbus are accustomed to treat strangers with politeness, a considerable number re paired to Uie place of the meeting at Uie hour notified, albeit Uie major part of them Uiink Uiey comprehend the quesUon aa well as most genUcmen from the land of abstractions. Col. W., however, on being introduced to the meeting, stated, aa well as wo could understand what he said, that the notice had been given without his knowledge, and that he felt disposition to desecrate Uie day by dipping into the asperities of political discussion. As he withdrew fiom the stand, the editor of the Statesman took his place and oficred to read tho Veto message of the President Not considering this Uio "feast to hich we had been invited," we withdrew from the Market House to seek entertainment elsewhere, but we have subsequently learned to our chagrin, at Uie expense of a very rich treat After Medary had read the message and comment ed upon it in a stylo peculiarly his own, a call was made upon Col. Watkiks aguin, whose diffidence about making a political speech on a day sacred to many hallowed associations had pretty much evap orated, and ho responded to the call in a harangue of considerable length going over the various hack neyed topics of the Veto power, Land distribution, Protection, &&, &c. As Col. W. seemed to invite iscussion, he was answered, upon invitation of the meeting, by J. Harris, Esq., of Stark county, who was town as a delegate to the American Industry Con vention. Mr. II. is a ready and fluent debater, was familiar with his subject, and the audience, by their hearty and repeated plaudits, testified his complete triumph over both the champion of free trade from Virginia, as well as his "pilot" of the Ohio States man. JJoth ot them seemed anxious to return a ic of the hard hits they had met with so unexpectedly, but tho meeting appeared to be impatient of a further continuance of tho discussion, on such a day, and mainly dispersed. Medary, demolished and mortified in tho Market Houso, takes his revenge upon Mr. Harris, in his paper, by some allusions to his connection with the Canton Bunk. We havo not met with any one yet, ho understands what the Canton Bank ha to do ith Protection, free trade, or John Tyler, RESTRICTION OF THE RIGHT OF SUF FRAGE. Loco Focoism in Connecticut exhibits itself in its true color. Notwithstanding tho boisterous pretensions of Uiat party to all the "democracy," and it assumed exclusive devotion to the principles of the largest liberty," tho state and ago has been dis graced by the accidental majority of tho legislature, in the passage of a law to di franchise the students in Colleges and A cad amies. Tins is democracy with vengeance ! What have the students done to pro- ko Una new scheme of proscription and persecu tion? How do they forfeit tho rights secured toother citizens ? Is Uie pursuit of knowledge an offence a crime? Do they disqualify themselves from dis charging the duties of freemen by increasing their means of intelligence and information ? Is the char acter of a st 1 1 -lent at Uio " Jcwfr my " or university kin to Uiat of the pauper or tho felon in the Peni tentiary, that ho is forbidden to interfere in the choice if public rulers ? In New York city this thing seems to bo understood a little differently. There, at the late Charter election, nearly one hundred convicts were released from confinement to augment Uie force of the Loco Foco at the polls. In Connecticut, the democracy" places students, felon and paupers in Uio same scale. In New York felons nnd pauper are admitted to the privileges which aro denied to lie student in Connecticut, Where's Uie Statesman? Cannot we have a few hyprocritical tear over the wicked conduct of the land holders" alias farmers of Rhode Island for their falsely imputed illiberal notion on this sub ject ? Shame upon such a deed : The Student in our Academies" and colleges compose the germ of the future statesmen, rulers, judges, legislators and con uctors of the press, of Uie land. One-half of Uicse are Uie aons of poor parents, struggling for an education against difficulties of every sort, like hundreds ot the eminent men of the present time, who have gone before thorn and left them tho incentives of their successful examples. They are as free from Uie undue influence of rank and wealth, and as independent in Uicir thoughts and actions, na any other class of elector whatever. The act to deprive them of the right of voting, is an act worthy the durkest daysof federalism. Surely the men who burnt "blue lights" on the coast to guido the attacks of Britibh fleet upon our defenceless towns, and who got up the treasonable convention at Hartford, are again in tho ascendency, in the "land of steady habits!" Truly it well becomes the dt "democracy," who plume themselves ao much upon their superior regard for popular rights, to do this deed of infamy! But their brief hour of rule their short "reign of terror" will soon expire, when Uio real, or. Lit k Democracy, or republicanism of the Stato will resume it proper away, and this foul stigma and relic of a more unenlightened period will be wiped out FREE TRADE 1 HURRAH FOR THE BRI TISH PARTY !1 Contrary to our expectations of what would bo Uie effect of tho Veto, it seems to be understood at Uio east, that NO DUTIES, not crrn firrny per cent, can can bo collected by law upon foreign i in portal ion. There are no regulation in existence by which such collection can be enforced. No duties will be paid except under protest, and tho Treasury is again empty. In Philadelphia great distress was experienced on Uie two first days of Uie month, at the Cus tom House. How they got along in New York, we do not learn. At Baltimore it appears the Collector had received instructions to collect twenty per cent upon a home valuation, although Mr, Forward ha once during tho session expressed hit opinion that without Uie action of Congress, the Department would be unable to make any collections after tho 30th of June. Mr. Tyler ia gradually usurping all tho function of tho government By the repeal of Uie Inde pendent Treasury law and the veto of Uio Bank bills, ho obtained possesion of Uie public moneys, and now, having vetoed another bill to ox tend Uie former regulations for the collection of the revenue, which expired by Uicir own limitation on the !KHh inst, he oemf to Uiink he his obtained the entire control of the whole matter, and ia himself empowered to lay nd collect impost according to tho dictate of his own wilL Allium havo truly arrived ataitrango pas! THE VETO. Why don't the brother in law got up another Tyler meeting in defence of the veto r Aro they going to look on with indifference whilst the clugy" Whig busy Uiemselvea in denouncing Uie Proi- ilent? And do tho 1oco loco intend to permit the occasion to pas without burning a little gunpowder ? It seem to ui that thcro is the slightest suspicion of a reluctance to H back " the President in Uiis last act of shame and usurpation, on the part of both parties. OHIO PENITENTIARY. The removal of Mr. Van Hook from the office of Warden of the Penitentiary, ha produced a general sentiment of surprise UiroughotitUie State. A feel ing of anxiety to know the causes of hia removal, ia equally prevalent Cannot the Statesman unfold the mystery for tho situ faction of toe public ? The Tyler presses say that the rumor of changes in the Cabinet, and Uie appointment of Democrat to fill the places of present incumbents, is wiUioutfoun-cation. So we think. His Accidcncy can't sell himself to Uie Democracy. They would not have him at any price hi sins are unpardonable. Ctn. x.nruirrr. The Enquirer is not in the secrets of his own party. Cant Tyler has sold himself to perpetual infamy, and Uie Loco f ocos.are the unhappy purchasers, Tho Captain paid a high bounty upon himself, in Uie shape of Veto No. 3. Let the Enquirer contemplate the formidable list of subscribing witnesses to the contract aa they rise one after another in Uie House of Representatives, to defend the betrayer of tho country. We wish them joy over their bargain, and predict that in one year, they will be as anxious to bo rid of him a Uie Whigs have been. MR. CLAYTON. This gentleman's own graphic account of hi recent excursion in Uie otmosphcre, will be found in our columns and read with interest A WORD AT PARTING. The Editor of the Steubenvitle Herald having replied at considerable length to a few remarks published in Uiis paper on the !Hst ult our uad interim" claims the privilege of rejoining briefly upon his own responsibility. No apology is due from us for complying with so reasonable a request THE STEUBENVILLE HERALD. The venerable editor of the Herald seems rather irritable, since his return from a sojourn at Uie Palace, and evinces lot of pugnacity on account of a few short paragraphs of rather good natured raillery intimating suspicions not confined to us, Uiat he might possibly have been a little Mesmerized by a certain John Tyler. Now we do most distinctly disclaim all personal ill-feeling towurds the Judge; and although on an emergency, we might be able to muster a few scattering missiles, we profess not to be chivalrously inclined. Beside we will not attempt to conceal Uie fact, that we are somewhat alarmed at the appearance of five columns editorial, by way of proving Uiat devotion to John Tyler is the very essence of whig principles. Wo hoe no gauntlet was Uirown be tween his honor and a certain Joseph Graham, Ls-qmRR, of Uie Cincinnati Republican, when he was at Washington, on account of which should stand first with Uie President If it he so, his honor certainly contends with fearful odds; for tho aforesaid Joseph is reputed to be a and specimen of his kind, and one Uiat hangs on with all the tenacity of a tea zle ; beside common fame has it that he has been an almost constant inmate of the Palace these six months last past: and that except tho Agent of Uie New York Herald, no man can tap Capt Tyler deeper than he can. With such a man, with such a start, it would be the extreme of folly for Uie Judge to contend, even suppose he put forth five columns of blarney in each of his papers from this day to tho d:iy when John Tyler and Loco Focoism shall be known to be one and indivisible. It won't do brother: you may as well give it up: Inud, eulogize, slave, toil, and practise every conceivable sort of subserviency, it will be of no avail : like the tic of first lovo, Uio attachment will bo found to bo inveterate, and ultimately the Judge will havo to walk Spanish. Look at the fugle-man, the AIndisonian ; see how it lauds Rhelt, Well or, and the whole corps of Loco Focos in Congress. What does all Uiat mean, but the foreshadowing of a treaty offensive and defensive, between John Tyler and the said Loco Focos? Each continuing in it present course, wo beg leave to ask whether Uio Herald or the Journal is most likely to be associated with tho "barn burners" after that event ? But we had liko to have forgotten to wish the Judge much iovof Veto Na 3. Hurrah for John Tyler and a protective Tariff! We think we can ace Uie J udge inarching round among his neighbors, Uie manufacturers of Stcubcnville, and congratulating Uiem upon tho influence which he exercised upon hi w Accidcncy," on the occasion of his late visit And docs his honor realty still think, that tho mere fact of his (Tyler's) being selected a worthy to run on the whig ticket, with Uie lamented Harrison, fettles Uie point, Uiat he ha a right to abuse Congress as a body, disregard all Uieir official acts and doings, aa well a the opinion of tho people themselves, and not in usurpation like Cromwell and Bonaparte? Cannot we have a few columns on Uioae points before dog-days ? What a charming thing is this notion of his honor about "chiding in a gentlemanly tone," when applied to all who will not agree that Congress is brought into existence barely for the purpose of serving as a target at which every executive minion may safely launch his ahafts; at Uio aame time that the executive is to ho fenced round with a slavish idea of veneration and false dignity, which shall operate as a perfect impunity. When Congress, Uie democratic branch of the Government, shall be hooted at by Uie conductors of a government press, Uicn i the public liberty in danger. Then will the political vultures perch Uicmsclves on the house tops, and with brutal hoiriinfr whet their savage beaks, preparatory to pouncing upon their victims; and the demagogue and the loafer will join in the frightful ptran of Veto!

THE PIPE LAYERS EXPOSED. Tho Grand Jury of the city of New York have made a presentment of the practice of the Police Magistrates and others in discharging prisoners from Black well's Island for the purpose of voting at elcc-Uons. The Grand Jury state that 71 prisoners were so unlawfully discharged previous to the last charter election, by police magistrates and aldermen, contrary to Uieir duty aa fuiUiful magistrates and good citizen. The presentment goes on to say : "Although the whole number of prisoner stated above were discharged at different dates between Uio aforesaid 20th March and 11th April vet it appears from evidence satisfactory to the Grand Jury that the whole number were detained in prison until late in the evening of the Ilth April, when Uiey wero transported to the citv in one case at least, under the im mediate care and supervision of one of the Deputy heepe.rs that they were minded mo aijjcrcm panics; auarlered at different vluccs in the cii, in one instance in a public wnkh room, provided with liquor, food and money, and that many ot said discharged vagrants voted at the different wards in the citu. Tho testimony submitted to the Grand Jury, has fullv satisfied them, that there was reasonable ground to believe that in granting the discharge aforesaid, hy the Police Justices and Aldermen aforesaid, and the actual discharge of the vagrants by tho Keeper and ucpiity jvecper oi me prison, mcy kttc uiiuch-crd by tfte improper and corrupt motive of enabling snid vagrants to vole at the potts of the several wards of the city, and with the view of unlawfully influencing Vie result of said election. The Grand Jury arc further of opinion, Unit the moral iniquity of these discharged vagrants voting at said election, rested in a tar greater degree upon uioso in omce ano power, who gavo them the opportunity to uo so, aim usou them a instruments in an unlawful and improper manner, than upon tliemselvcs. Justice, therefore, seems to the Grand Jury to demand, if not tho pun ishment nt least the exposure ot individuals who would thus prostitute tho dignity of their official stations, and degrade themselves as individuals beneath the stunding of tho poor, ignorant vagrants them selves, by a courso of action so utterly at variance with sound morals und good citizenship. hue, therefore, the Grand Jury would in pity to the pour deluded vagrant extend to him any indulgence which Christian charity would prompt they would hold up to merited obloquy, those who from their high stations and superior intelligence should not only have known but acted better. Tho Grand Jury are aware that offence of this nature in Uio caxe of judicial of ficer arc not indictable, and must as a sure and el- frctual remedy for the future correction of Uiis great evil, look to the power and influence of a sound and healthy public opinion, and the action of the proper authorities, either to impeach or remove a the case may require, all future offenders in this behalf. In making this presentment the Grand Jury are not aware of being actuated hy any other motive than to subserve the public good, under a deep sense of their high obligations as good citizens. They seek not so much punishment fur nast ollences, as tor uio tuiure correction of greut and admitted evils." The men engaged in una infamous business wot ill Loco Focos, and Uio vote thus obtained "enured" to tho benefit of Uie Loco Foco party. Was ever a more wicked, fraudulent and abandoned course of measures adopted by any party in Uiis or any other country, Uian Uie history of this charter election and the event growing out of it for two monUis past hove unfolded? In the election itself every species of corruption and fraud was employed to secure a fa vorable result Having been discarded by the peo-1 pie, the party leaders concocted various schemes for nullifying and overruling the will of the people Uiemselvcs. Ballots enough to change the result in one of the wards, wore unlawfully destroyed, and then a false return was mado of Uie result by the Inspectors. In another a return properly made out and signed by Uie Inspectors, was annulled and a partial return substituted in it place, without any form or warrant of law. In another a former Alderman pretended to hold over beyond tho term for which he had been originally elected a thing never before heard of and totally unwarranted. Then the Mayor refused to administer the oath of offico to members of Uie new council, as required by law, with a view to prevent them from taking Uicir seats, and to crown nil Uicir acts of usurpation and of invasion of public and private right, Uie fonuor officers of Uie corporation refused to surrender Uieir books and papers, money and oUier public property to their legally appointed successors, but compelled them to apply to Uie Supreme Court and Uien take an appeal to the Court of last resort, for a decision, the effect of which is to givo them quiet possession of what was never withheld before. Thus have the Loco Focos usurped tho city government fur two months, and the le gally constituted authorities have been kept out of their places by force and violence for Uiat term. And all this has been done inUicnomeof uDemocra cy:n What a desecration ot a title once honored and gloried in ! How it has fallen and been disgraced ! Tho people of Ohio will see by Uie above pre sentment, and from the facts fresh in Uie public recollection, that the pipe lnyers Uio violators of tho hallot box the contrivers of fraud and artifices to defeat the public will and the enemies of law and order, and the disturbers of the peace and tranquility of Uie community, aro exclusively of and among Uio opponents of the whig party. All Uie pipe laying, or illegal voting, ever perpetrated in the country, has been the work of tho Ijoco Foco party; and yet who can mil with a better show of indignant reproach against tho "pipe layers," Uian Sain Medary ? Pipe laying is hia ahsoluto horror. The bare suspicion of its enormities throws him into convulsions. Ho has never any specific charges to allege never puts his finger upon a case but pipe laying in general, diffused and intangiblo, is hi utter aversion. Yet strange aa it may seem, pipe laying to Uio tune of srptn hundred illegal vote in Mercer county, in 1HJU, and in several other instance in the western counties of this Stato, had no effect whatever upon his nervous system. Ho contemplated it then, and ha ever since with singular composure. So with this pipe laying in New York. We venture to predict Uiat the readers of the Statesman will never come to Uie slightest knowledge of the shameful circumstances disclosed in the presentment of the Grand Jury referred to, Uirough his columns, nor will he ever ex press a word of disapprobation of the moans used to accomplish the original frauds or to overt Uie conso sequences of their failure. And such a man is a lender of the " Democracy," and Democracy" flourishes by such means 1 THE WEATHER AND THE HARVEST. The wheat harvest was commenced in tho counties south of this, last week, and in Uiis and tho adjoin ing counties east and west, during the present week, We hoar no complaint of rust or blight where tho crop is already ripened. Tho weather, however, wo regret to say, has not been the most favorable. Several davs last week, and again on Sunday and Tues day of this week, Uie showers havo been general, and the fall of rain unusually abundant Wednesday and Thursday Uio air was cool and clear, and tho farmers must have mado rapid progress wiUi their work. This morning, however, another heavy thunder storm passed over Uiis section, and Uie day has been moist and unpropilioua. More rain must fall before another change can bo expected. In the I northern counties, and including a portion of Uie best wheat growing districts of Uie State, the harvest will not commence for a week or 'two yet We feci some apprehension for the consequences of this stato of tho weather upon the fields which are now maturing. There is one thing, however, in our favor. The nights have been cool, and the heats of the day are by no means up to the extreme. We have lately had Uie pleasure of passing through the country from Uie Lako to this place, and a more lux uriant and promising growth of wheat, it has never been our lot to behold. If it can be secured without material loss or injury, our granaries will be stored with an overflowing abundance for tho coming season. MR. CLAY. Tho Editor of Uie BoBton Courier says "the nom ination of Mr. Clay as a candidate for the Presidency seems to be assuming on imposing aspect:" bid .dds Uie editor we don't know about it we have supported Mr, Clay several timeB, when other people would not it has been Mr. Clay's misfortune that hia party has always had bad leaders, &c. &c. end- ng in a growl of discontent as though he was gitting sick of doing a good thing, and was really vexed to see the whole country hastening to consummate that for which ho had prayed so ardently and so long. Well old fellow if you are becoming tired of holding aloft Uie banner of Harry Clay, there are hundred of Uiousands of active, enUiusiastic young men, who have come into tho field since Uie times you speak of, and they are going for him with a perfect rush. Ho will be elected too so you had better hang on, NEW YORK CITY GOVERNMENT. It affords us pleasure to announce to our readers that the Court of Errors havo unanimously affirmed the decision of Uie Supreme Court, in Uio Mandamus cose against Mayor Morris; and that in consequence, tho Whig Common Council, and Uio numerous officers appointed under it, will now be permitted quietly to assume and exercise Uicir proper funcUons. Thus ends another effort to resist tho due course of law and defeat the expressed will of tho people, which liko its counterpart in Rhode Island, ought to cover its instigators and abetters wiUi everlasting infamy. CONTEMPLATED RECEPTION OF MARTIN VAN BUREN AT CLEVELAND. Wo observe with regret and vexation, Uiat the Whigs of Cleveland have consented to form the tail of a procession to be got up on Uie occasion of Mr. Van Burcn's expected visit, in the progress of his present electioneering tour. We did not conceive Uiat our friends of that city were the "gudgeons" to bite at such a " naked hook," nor will we believe it now until our eyes have witnessed Uie proof. Mr. Van Buren is no more entitled to the respect of the Whigs of Cleveland than Petticoat Allen or Sam Medary, who wiUi him aro equally candidates for a re-election to the stations Uiey have disgraced and the power they have abused. Is the lesson at Dayton to be so soon forgotten ? Mil' RUSSELL'S BENEFIT. If ever a man deserved a substantial testimonial of the admiration which is felt by this whole community for his ingenuity, skill and industry, that man is RUSSELL, tho inventor and constructor of the Planetarium, now exhibiting at the State House. The proceeds of tho exhibition and lecture to-night are to be appropriated for his sole benefit Let those who know Uie man, his worth and his deserts, manifest their sense of his personal merit, as well as of Uie favor he has conferred upon science itself, by a generous attendance this evening, and of course, a liberal contribution to Uie treasury box. Vtom the Richmond Whit;. MR. nOTTS' l.ETTKR Wl'r CII.MKNT OF THE I'KKSIDKM'. The country reader will find on Uie first page of our country impression, the admirable letter ot Mr. Bolts to the New York Committee of Invitation, and to it wo invite the special attention of Uie people of Uio United States, To the politicians, we have nothing to aay on the grave subject referred to in tho hitter part of Uio letter of Mr. B,; but of the sovereign people those who are, and long have been, the victims of a grinding misrule, and whose instiiu lions, under the operation of Executive usurpation, are being robbed of every characteristic of freedom, we do entreat a calm, and solemn consideration of Uie remedy suggested by Mr. B., for the grievances Uiat so heavily alllict Uie country. We are no alarmists, nor yet do we belong to tho class of sickly sentimentalists, who recoil from Uie no tion ot impeaching a resident ot the united States. We cherish no apprehension Uiat the infatuated im becile, who now bears a chance-gotten sway, can, in his day and generation, overturn the liberties of Uio Union; but our view is this: For a scries of years, miming through several successive Administrations, Executive Power has been advancing, asjumiug, each successive year, a bolder front and and erector gait, until grown audacious, from long impunity, it lias laiien almost into uie uaou oi inning wun tne popular right and interest. Now we say, that continuod acquiescence on the part ot Uio people, is not only pusillanimous, but frivolous in the extreme. It will invite continued aggression, until Uie public mind, become callous from constant repetition and long endurance, and forgetting Uial Uiere is a constitutional mode of redress, can never bo roused to Uie resentment of wrong, nnd Uie vindication of the public liberty. There is, indeed, in Uie public feeling, an insensibility which forebodes no good for the ultimate destiny of our country in an endurance of outrage a misapplied natienco which wo regard as any tiling but a virtuo in a free and spirited people. We do not halt for a moment in tho conviction, Uiat unless Uie march of Executive assumption be arrested it arrogance be rebuked our ft ce institutions are destined to inevitable ruin, and Uie people to endless misgovermnent and heartless oppression. And wo as much entertain the opinion boldly avowed by Mr. Botts, that Impeachment is the only remedy this side of Mr. Clay's elevation to Uio Presidency. We know of no oUier peaceable mode of checking Unit daring insolenco which ha been so long arrogating to itself Executive, Legislative and Judicial functions, concentrating all power in a single head, and for long yoara sporting with the dearest rights and best interest of Uie people. No other measure is known to us for bringing to his senses tho traitor who has dashed the thousand fond hopes of an expecting country; nor do we hesitato to believe, that an Impeachment would go farther to curb Executive Power, Uinn all oUier means combined, and would exert, in all future time, Uio happiest influence upon the conduct of our Rulers. Had General Jackson hcen impeached for his first outrage, we had had a good Government under his successor; and so if we arraign the present apology for a President, and drive him with ignominy from the station he dishonors, nta example will prove a solemn warning to all future Chief Magistrates, and we aliall hear no more, for years to come, of Executive usurpation.Why has this powor of Uio Constitution been permitted by a free people to lie dormant so long, when so numerous and so palHible occasions for its exercise havo been presented? And what but tho dor mancy ot this principle, in tho midst ot these occasions, has courted, stimulated, and fearfully euihold-ened Executive encroachment ? Our people havo not sufficiently estimated this feature ot tho Constitution. Impeachment ought to be, in our system, exactly what Uie power to withhold supplies is in Great Britain. It ought to be, and may ho mmle.tlio great Executive check. Whenever a Chief Magistrate exceeds liisj constitutional prerogative, let him be brought up to answer ; and a tew examples of Uio exercise of Uie power, would prove a niost effectual restraint upon Presidential mmdoing. Wo are glad Mr. Botts has opened Uio subject lor Uio consideration of the people. Ict us not bo told that Uiore aro not adequate causes for Impeachment Many outrages has Mr. Tyler perpetrated, which would havo cost the King of England his head, or of France his throne. At this time, wo will venture no specification, waiting until the veil be more fully removed from certain transactions; 1 and, for the present enquiring what has he not dono to merit impeachment r There nre those, we know, who would censure Uie letter of Mr. Botts as savoring of intolerance and violence; but we dispute the justice of the criticism. We have no censure for a liberty-breathing, tyranny-hnting spirit. We are no admirers of that lameness which crouches to oft-repeated and grievous wrong; nor are we prepared to approbate that craven spirit, which, in these degenerate days, so oftn confounds manliness with indiscretion. Vc like the true Sax on spirit which breathes through Mr. B.'s letter. H is the spirit which meets the crisis in public affair, which can alone save the Republic, re-enstamp upon the Constitution its primeval character, and bring back Uio "primal glories" of the Union; and thus thinking, we cannot withhold Uie humble meed of our approbation and encouragement from Uie public man who has Uie courage to exhibit it A letter wo subjoin is so expressive of our own views, as to save us the necessity of further remark. It was addressed by a distinguished citizen of New York to Mr. Botts, and is a well deserved compliment to that gentleman for the manly sentiments and tone of his letter; and though wo are not altogeUier certain that we are authorized so to do, we take the responsibility of giving it publicity : "New York, June 22d, 1842. "lion. John M. Botts: I have heard your letter read this evening, at National Hall, st Uie meeting convened to nominate Mr. Clay for the next Presidency; and I cannot forbear expressing to you my Uianks for daring to present to the People, under your name, Uie propriety of impeaching Uio President, John Tyler. It has been looked upon as impossible, and but few seem ever to have Uiought of the sub ject It ought to be done. The Constitution will never nave ns power Known until a rresiueni snan be impeached. The people will never know their power over their servants until a f resident ahall ne impeached. No future occasion can be looked for, when a party who puts a man into power, can havo ffood cause and heart to impeach him. Providence i as furnished us this occasion, and it is our duty to heed his indications. The causes of impeachment are abundant. " You will pardon this note from a stranger. The stimulant of public men is Uie approbation of those they serve. I am one of the multitude, and only do justice to myself when I assure you of the gratifica tion 1 received, from uie tact that a member ot Con gress had brought Uie impeachment of Uie President to Uio consideration of the People." FROM RHODE ISLAND. Hon. John C, Spencer, Secretary at War, who fonsed through this city Thursday, was in Providence 'riday, holding u long consultation wiUi Uie Governor and Council of Uie State. Tho whereabout ot that illustrious personage, Governor Dorr, is not yet ascertained. The valiant "ucneral" iJ'VVnll, and his equally valiant companions, who placed themselves in a stone houso in Ilurrillville, and declared that Uiey would not be taken alive, fled at tho approach of Uie Sea nciblns and (inlets. They followed the example of Uieir illustrious lender. A largo number of arms have been seized at Woon- socket, where martial law yet prevails. No person is allowed to bo in the streets atter v ociock in the evening, without a permit from the commanding officer, and the citizens say Uiat Uiey are glad to have some quiet Tho troops from Woonsockct brought in HI prison ers on 'Thursday. Mure of Uie troop are leaving for their homes. The following appears in the Providence Chroni cle : To quiet Uie apprehensions, even of Uie most timid, in every portion of the State, we are auUiorized to say, that every preparation has been mado, from a spear to a broad-sword, from a Hint to a patent repenting carbine, to concentrate upon any, Uio most distant point in Uio State, a large and efficient force of mounted men and infantry ; Uie latter to be provided, at a moment's warning, with ample means of quick tran-iK)rtation. The Major General com-mauding is fully nlivo to the present state of Uimgs; and, as he has taken the responsibility of, so he means to take all necessary and proper means for, Uie protection of every portion of Uio State, Tho disturbers of Uie public peace need not flutter them selves that the withdrawal of the troops will enable Uiem to work their own wild pleasure, as they have hiUierto dono, upon our well affected citizens; but that tho most summary justice will be done upon all those who may manifest by any acts, a disposition to renew Uicir la'to wicked nnd treasonable attempt It should never be forgotten, that there may be circumstances, in which forbearance will cease to be a virtue. lwo gentlemen connected with the Loco foco IJoHton Press, who entered Uie Chepnlchet encampment after tho flight of Dorr, only to report Uie doings there, were arretted, but after a short imprisonment liberated by Uio interposition "of Thurlow Weed, Major Bank bead, U. S. Army, and Mr. Anthony, of lite Providence Journal. They give a ludicrous account of Uie company they wore caught in. The legislature were in session, and about too e- nte a Commission for Uio trial of prisoners, some of whom had been already liberated. 1 he froviricnco Journals seem to think Dorr is in this city. We think not, but if he is, he is not safe here, and will soon be arrested. The town can hold him no more. Mr. Weed, of the Albany Evening Journal, writes as follows from Chepachct: jyorraiianuoneu iiisironMnn mommy evening, uik-ing with him Michael Walsh and about uiirty of his New )ork "hpartan Hand." lhere was no person left in Dorr's camp possessing either the intelligence or the talent to guide or govern tho miserable men who had been abandoned by uicir recusant Chief. Dorr left about (JOO men on the ground. They dis charged Uieir pieces and dispersed an hour boforo Col. iirown came up. I found about l(KM troops under arms at Chenachet, and fine, gallant spirits they are. The whole Slate, wearied and annoyed by constant agitation and ag gression, is aroused. The spirit of 7tl lives in the oHoins of tho descendant of the man who defend ed Rhode Island in Uiat day. The blood of sires who tought in tho Kovolution, now running through Uie veins of Uicir sons, was ready to be poured out for Uicir State. Four-fifths of all Uiis military array is composed of Uie Sons and Grandson of Uie Green's, and Gluey', tho Ward', Uio Updike's, and other Uovolutionnry I' at riots. Among Uiem, 1 had tho pleasure of being introduced to Capt Green, a Grand-son of the Revolutionary General who was in all things second only to Washington, 1 also saw Doct Perry,of Newport, Hon of the Hero of Lake Erie, who is Surgeon in Uie Newport troops. Fathers and Sons w ere found in Uie ranks together, and in one Company Uiere was a FaUier, Son and Grandson in the same platoon. A letter has been shown us from Westerly, which sp jaks of five or six arrests Uiere, Dorr's Sheriff being one. THE REVENUE AND ITS COLLECTION. Very great confusion is likely to occur, itaj poars, nt all thu Custom Houses, in consequence, first, of the doubt whether Uiere he any revenue law in existence, and, secondly, should Uie law be yet in forc, of the absence of any provision by taw of Uie D'crim of ascertaining the home valuation. On Una subject wo find Uie following paragraphs from two ot Uie principal seaport t From itw United Stairs GaMie. Wo are told that the trouble experienced it the Cmtnm-House yesterdny was inexpressibly (Treat and it is believed Uiat the business cannot be carried on in the present state of legislation. The collector, it is stated, has received hint met ions from Was'iing-tnn to levy a duty of twenty per cent, Aome mtih'nn, payable in cash, without credit, upon all article not apeciticd in the list of free goods, Rut there is no means of testing Uie valuation. Gin, Uiat may be considered worth a dollar a gallon hero, though we suppose it would cost in Holland not more Uian forty or forty-five cent a gallon, might in some places of excessive temperance, bo valued at twenty cents. Tako, for example, the port of Plymouth, (Mass.) Uie shire town of a county in which Uiere is not a place for retailing liquor, and where, perhaps, a gallon o gin is not drunk in a year. Would gin be consider ed worth as much as in some places where Uio demand has not censed ? Wo published, some time since, the law which i now operative since the veto. The section doe not sny what duties shall bo laid for the purpose of raising such revenue rs mny be necessary to sn economical ndininisirntion of the Government" Home vn hint i mi and cash payments are also designated. These duties are not laid, and Uie Government is now being carried on by the Executive. Curreipundt'iice ol'tlw United sjlMes (iatHt. New York, Fain ay, P.

None of our merchants, as far as I can find, will pay any duties under these laws except under protest S'ime person has been silly enough to write to the St Imis Reporter, that Mr. Van Huron was recetr ed here with enthusiasm ! If there was enthusiisin, it was not among the People but confined to two individuals, who mnnnpoiuod moslnt the lims and ntlention of the defeated candtdnte, much to the di-sntislaction of tho rank and file of Uie party.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 6, 1843. MR. CLAYTON Returned to town about two o'clock this afternoon, He alighted on terra firma about five miles east of Newark, after being up in the atmosphere an hour and a half. We do not learn the particulars of his serial excursion, but presume they will be furnished for publication. MOVEMENT OF THE WATERS. In nearly every section of the State we perceive our friends are awakening- to the importance of tho approaching election. There is every encouragement to hope that the spirit of 1840 will be fully roused again, and with not loss glorious results. We notice, with feelings of peculiar satisfaction, the proceedings of a county meeting, at Warren, Trumbull county, on the STJd ult Gen. William Riplet, President, Richard Innings and Samuel Pansier, Vice Presidents, and Hiram Baldwin and Kidney W. Harris, Secretaries. The meeting was ably addressed by Messrs. Crowe! 1, Wade, Newton and Ford. A scries of spirited resolutions were adopted, for which we wish we had room in the State Journal. We extract a few of these however. This is tho first meeting that has been held in Trumbull, says the W. K. Chronicle, since the prospects of the country were so cruelly blighted by the death of the good Harrison, for the purpose of concentrating the efforts and urging forward the prominent principles of die Whig party. The beginning is a good one, end we hope "it will be followed up with Uie zeal and effect which a good cause should ever inspire. The whigs of Trumbull should bear in mind, that the result of tho election in their county this full is of tho utmost importance, and that tho eyes of the whole State are upon them. With a proper effort, success is certain without it, not only is their own defeut and mortification equally certain, but the endeavors of their friends throughout the State may he irretrievably blasted. The following resolutions adopted by tho meeting are of the right stamp, and will be cordially responded to by the true friends of the country every where-: Resolved, That tho dopendance upon foreign countries, for the necessaries or conveniences of life, is inconsistent with the just rights of our citizens, and the principles of our free institutions. Resolved, That our indceridcnce is incomplete, so long as our workshops are in Europe, and we are obliged to procure abroad any portion of the means of subsistence in time of peace, or of defence in wor. from foreign countries, Resolved, That it is as ruinous to tho prosperity of tho country, as it is unjust to the people, to send tne precious metals abroad to purchase foreign manufactures, when the samo article can bo made at home by our own citizens. Resolved, That wo repudiate tho theory of " freo trade " as dclusivo and impracticable, and wholly unjust and inapplicable to our c in: u instances in the great family of nations, so long as Great Britain and other foreign countries exact from us, as they now do, a duty upon the products of our soul and industry, varying from twenty-five to nineteen hundred nor cent, for the plain reason that "froo trade." on such terms, is like tho handle of a jug, all on one side. Resolved, That tho division of labor among the various employments, agricultural, manufacturing, and mechanical, enhuncos its vahis and renders it more productive, and thereby promotes the comfort and prosperity of the whole. Rrsolvtd, That we hnvo os little confidence in, or respect for that species of democracy" which would persuade us to purchase tram foreigners, uie articles which our own mechanics and manufacturers can supply, as we have for the patriotism of those who profess it Remtved, That well regulated banks, in our opinion, arc convenient for the people, and necessary and bene lie ial in transacting the business of Uie country and that their destruction, now sought to be accomplished by a portion of our political opponents, would be attended with tho most disastrous consequences.Resolretl, That the proceeds of the sales of public lands rightfully belong to the slates, and tho distribution bill passed at tho extra session of Congress meets our cordial approbation, and our representative in Congress is hereby instructed to opjwse all attempts to repeal it Resolved. That the unceasing denunciations of the self-styled "democracy" against the distribution of the proceeds of tho sales ot the public lands among the Slates, by which tho taxes upon tho people will be lessened and their burthens lightened, furnishes additional proof of their utter disregard of the welfare of the people, and of their unreasonable and reckless hostility to their interests. Resolved That wo heartily respond to the nomination of Thomas Corwin for tho re-election to tho office of Governor of this State, and pledge ourselves to use all honorable means to secure his success. GOV. DORR. The miserable wretch who has succeeded but too noorly in plunging the State of Rhode Island into all the horrors of a civil strife, is liko to find every part of Uie Union tco hot to hold and protect him from the just punishment due his unnatural crimes. Ho is now a "fugitive and an outcast" and a "price is ant upon his head." He has heretofore found a safe retreat in Connecticut, as Uio Loro Foco Governor Cleveland has refused to deliver him up on Uie re- quisition of Gov. King; but the New York Plcbian, one of his sympathisers, and well informed on such subjects, says Ui.it Gov, C. has reconsidered his do-terminaUon, and will now surrender hi in. Dorr will find no safety this side of Canada. If some of Uie more "respectable of his advisers and instigators could bo compelled to share his disgrace and ruin, justice would be cheated of hut fewor of its victims. RHODE ISLAND. Tho war is pretty much over in Rhode Island ; but the details are so interesting that we deem it proper to make rather copious extracts from Uie Provideiico Journal of Thursday : From the Providence Journal. or nr. at no. til. Head Quarters, Division or R. Islam Forces. Tockwotton House, Protidr nee, June 181'J. The Major General Commanding, has pleasure in announcing that there is now no immediate call for a continuance of the patriotic services of the troops, tn the JUld. They are, therefore, at liberty to retire, for the present to their respective homes, where they will await further orders. The Quartermaster's Department will furnish Uie proper transportation to facilitate the execution of tins onter. Until further directions, the Head Quirt era of the Major General will bo continued at the Toe k wot ton House all communications will accordingly be addressed to the Adjutant General, as usual. By order of Major General Mc-Nkim,: Ei.isha Dvkr, Jr., Adjutant General. Arrival or Taoors ad Prisoners. Nearly all the troops were ordered from Chepachet yesterday and arrived here with about KMJ prisoners at five o'clock. Tho City Guard went out to escort them, and as their arrival was generally expected, the windows and doom of the streets Uirough which they passed were crowded with spectators, and a dense mass assembled in Market Square to welcome the return ot their gallant lellow-citizons. Wo ne ver remember to have seen Uie streets so crowded, Handkerchiefs waved from the windows, cheers as cended from Uio sidewalks, and a perfect shower of now era toil on both aides ot the way. IN early every soldier had a boquot in his hand or stuck at Uie end or hta musket: Uio bridles of Uie horse were omi merited with thorn, and Uio cannons were wreathed round from the imixxle to the breech, NoUiing could oxceed Uie enthusiasm and delight which was manifested on the feature of Uie fair facet that miled from everv window. Gen. Ntedmanv Brigade, the Third, brought in about Uiirty prisoners i Uiat brigade mustered about 500. The prisoner were inarclwd to Uie State Pri- son. Col. Brown, with tho Morino Artillery and the Light Infantry, followed with Uie other prisoners, about 100; these prisoners were also carried to Uie State Prison. Tho spoils, consisting of Uie captured cannons, drums, muskets, pikes, and munitions of war, were carried along alter uie companies, ana were received with repeated cheers. Including Uie escort, the number of men under aims were about 1,'JOO, and surely a finer sight never gladdened the good old city. The honest yeomanry of Uie State, gallant young men, and noble old men, had returned from Uie performance of Uie highest duty of a republican citizen, the vindication of Uie law; they had put down a traitorous and murderous conspiracy ; they had proved Uiemselvcs worthy of Uie blood that tills their veins, and had shown that the line of a noble ancestry was destined to sutler no disgrace at Uteir hands. To them and to their equally gallant associates who were dismissed yesterday, or who still remain at their posts, are due the Uianks of Uie State, and not only of tho State, but of the Union; for, had Dorr succeeded, the evil would not have been confined to Rhode Island. Every State would have felt the shock, and our republican institutions would havo trembled beneath the blow. But the crisis has been met triumphnntly ; and the great cause of law and order, still rests on its unbroken foundation. The Majobitt. Our readers havo not forgotten the oft-repeated assertions of the Dorr papers in Uie State and out of it that the " People's Constitution " and Dorr's government under it, were supported by the great majority, and that the Charter government was sustained by a small aristocratic minority. Tho truth of this we have always denied ; and the events of this week have fully borne us out in all that we have said to that effect A (Treat majority of tho people of Rhode Island are in favor of the legal government of tho State, and thoroughly opposed to the treacherous usurpation of Dorr and his adherents. Look nt tho noble fellows who are here from every part of Uie State; ore they aristocrats ? Do the sun burnt brows and the toil-hardened hands of the veo- tnanrv of the Southern counties, bear indications of tho " silk-stocking aristocracy " ? These are the men "thnt constitute a State." Their physical force, os well as the moral sense of the people, is with us. More than three thousand men are now in amis to maintain the laws with their lives, and nearly as many more are ready, if called tion. If these be the " minority," where is tho M majority " ? Are tho scattered bunds of Dorr, the men who are hidden through the State, or prisoners taken in arms, that majority ? We trust that the meddling demagogues from oilier States are now satisfied Uiat Rhode Island can take care of herself. Thomas W. Dorh. Authentic intelligence has been received, that Dorr did not leave Thompson as whs supposed, Tuesday, hut Unit he remained there until yesterday morning at two o'clock, when he departed, on horschark, towards Massachusetts. lie whs probably bound for Canada.

The lack learning Legislature of Connecticut will earn nothing but shame and disgrace in its recent Vandalism. The luw for disfranchising every one engaged in Uie pursuit of learning is worthy only of the dark ages, and even tho monks ot the twelfth century would themselves have been ashamed of such barburism. The students in the literary institutions, Uiemselvcs, are indignant, as they ought to be, at the Hottentots w ho paired Uiclaw. Those of Washington College, at Hartford, have led off in Uie denunciation, and c have no doubt that the example will be followed throughout the State.

No doubt Uie negotiation was conducted, on boUi sides, in Uie most approved and courtly style. Oh. yes ; it was conducted in courtly style. YV e asked Mr. Si thins what success he met with in Uie ilv. " Pretty good." said he; " I have just seen the smart young man of the Sun, and I think 1 can count upon him. "Is h ready to support you lor Uie Presidency?" wo inquired.

To add to the interest which the turnout of Uie military and the ascension of Mr. Clayton were cal- ulated to impart to the Fourth, placards were posted Uirough the city on Monday morning, containing the unnunciaUon that Col. Joe Walkxns, a "low down" irginian, would address a meeting in the Market House, in the afternoon, in defence of the Veto. As citizens of Columbus are accustomed to treat strangers with politeness, a considerable number re paired to Uie place of the meeting at Uie hour notified, albeit Uie major part of them Uiink Uiey comprehend the quesUon aa well as most genUcmen from the land of abstractions. Col. W., however, on being introduced to the meeting, stated, aa well as wo could understand what he said, that the notice had been given without his knowledge, and that he felt disposition to desecrate Uie day by dipping into the asperities of political discussion. As he withdrew fiom the stand, the editor of the Statesman took his place and oficred to read tho Veto message of the President Not considering this Uio "feast to hich we had been invited," we withdrew from the Market House to seek entertainment elsewhere, but we have subsequently learned to our chagrin, at Uie expense of a very rich treat After Medary had read the message and comment ed upon it in a stylo peculiarly his own, a call was made upon Col. Watkiks aguin, whose diffidence about making a political speech on a day sacred to many hallowed associations had pretty much evap orated, and ho responded to the call in a harangue of considerable length going over the various hack neyed topics of the Veto power, Land distribution, Protection, &&, &c. As Col. W. seemed to invite iscussion, he was answered, upon invitation of the meeting, by J. Harris, Esq., of Stark county, who was town as a delegate to the American Industry Con vention. Mr. II. is a ready and fluent debater, was familiar with his subject, and the audience, by their hearty and repeated plaudits, testified his complete triumph over both the champion of free trade from Virginia, as well as his "pilot" of the Ohio States man. JJoth ot them seemed anxious to return a ic of the hard hits they had met with so unexpectedly, but tho meeting appeared to be impatient of a further continuance of tho discussion, on such a day, and mainly dispersed. Medary, demolished and mortified in tho Market Houso, takes his revenge upon Mr. Harris, in his paper, by some allusions to his connection with the Canton Bunk. We havo not met with any one yet, ho understands what the Canton Bank ha to do ith Protection, free trade, or John Tyler, RESTRICTION OF THE RIGHT OF SUF FRAGE. Loco Focoism in Connecticut exhibits itself in its true color. Notwithstanding tho boisterous pretensions of Uiat party to all the "democracy," and it assumed exclusive devotion to the principles of the largest liberty," tho state and ago has been dis graced by the accidental majority of tho legislature, in the passage of a law to di franchise the students in Colleges and A cad amies. Tins is democracy with vengeance ! What have the students done to pro- ko Una new scheme of proscription and persecu tion? How do they forfeit tho rights secured toother citizens ? Is Uie pursuit of knowledge an offence a crime? Do they disqualify themselves from dis charging the duties of freemen by increasing their means of intelligence and information ? Is the char acter of a st 1 1 -lent at Uio " Jcwfr my " or university kin to Uiat of the pauper or tho felon in the Peni tentiary, that ho is forbidden to interfere in the choice if public rulers ? In New York city this thing seems to bo understood a little differently. There, at the late Charter election, nearly one hundred convicts were released from confinement to augment Uie force of the Loco Foco at the polls. In Connecticut, the democracy" places students, felon and paupers in Uio same scale. In New York felons nnd pauper are admitted to the privileges which aro denied to lie student in Connecticut, Where's Uie Statesman? Cannot we have a few hyprocritical tear over the wicked conduct of the land holders" alias farmers of Rhode Island for their falsely imputed illiberal notion on this sub ject ? Shame upon such a deed : The Student in our Academies" and colleges compose the germ of the future statesmen, rulers, judges, legislators and con uctors of the press, of Uie land. One-half of Uicse are Uie aons of poor parents, struggling for an education against difficulties of every sort, like hundreds ot the eminent men of the present time, who have gone before thorn and left them tho incentives of their successful examples. They are as free from Uie undue influence of rank and wealth, and as independent in Uicir thoughts and actions, na any other class of elector whatever. The act to deprive them of the right of voting, is an act worthy the durkest daysof federalism. Surely the men who burnt "blue lights" on the coast to guido the attacks of Britibh fleet upon our defenceless towns, and who got up the treasonable convention at Hartford, are again in tho ascendency, in the "land of steady habits!" Truly it well becomes the dt "democracy," who plume themselves ao much upon their superior regard for popular rights, to do this deed of infamy! But their brief hour of rule their short "reign of terror" will soon expire, when Uio real, or. Lit k Democracy, or republicanism of the Stato will resume it proper away, and this foul stigma and relic of a more unenlightened period will be wiped out FREE TRADE 1 HURRAH FOR THE BRI TISH PARTY !1 Contrary to our expectations of what would bo Uie effect of tho Veto, it seems to be understood at Uio east, that NO DUTIES, not crrn firrny per cent, can can bo collected by law upon foreign i in portal ion. There are no regulation in existence by which such collection can be enforced. No duties will be paid except under protest, and tho Treasury is again empty. In Philadelphia great distress was experienced on Uie two first days of Uie month, at the Cus tom House. How they got along in New York, we do not learn. At Baltimore it appears the Collector had received instructions to collect twenty per cent upon a home valuation, although Mr, Forward ha once during tho session expressed hit opinion that without Uie action of Congress, the Department would be unable to make any collections after tho 30th of June. Mr. Tyler ia gradually usurping all tho function of tho government By the repeal of Uie Inde pendent Treasury law and the veto of Uio Bank bills, ho obtained possesion of Uie public moneys, and now, having vetoed another bill to ox tend Uie former regulations for the collection of the revenue, which expired by Uicir own limitation on the !KHh inst, he oemf to Uiink he his obtained the entire control of the whole matter, and ia himself empowered to lay nd collect impost according to tho dictate of his own wilL Allium havo truly arrived ataitrango pas!

This gentleman's own graphic account of hi recent excursion in Uie otmosphcre, will be found in our columns and read with interest A WORD AT PARTING. The Editor of the Steubenvitle Herald having replied at considerable length to a few remarks published in Uiis paper on the !Hst ult our uad interim" claims the privilege of rejoining briefly upon his own responsibility. No apology is due from us for complying with so reasonable a request THE STEUBENVILLE HERALD. The venerable editor of the Herald seems rather irritable, since his return from a sojourn at Uie Palace, and evinces lot of pugnacity on account of a few short paragraphs of rather good natured raillery intimating suspicions not confined to us, Uiat he might possibly have been a little Mesmerized by a certain John Tyler. Now we do most distinctly disclaim all personal ill-feeling towurds the Judge; and although on an emergency, we might be able to muster a few scattering missiles, we profess not to be chivalrously inclined. Beside we will not attempt to conceal Uie fact, that we are somewhat alarmed at the appearance of five columns editorial, by way of proving Uiat devotion to John Tyler is the very essence of whig principles. Wo hoe no gauntlet was Uirown be tween his honor and a certain Joseph Graham, Ls-qmRR, of Uie Cincinnati Republican, when he was at Washington, on account of which should stand first with Uie President If it he so, his honor certainly contends with fearful odds; for tho aforesaid Joseph is reputed to be a and specimen of his kind, and one Uiat hangs on with all the tenacity of a tea zle ; beside common fame has it that he has been an almost constant inmate of the Palace these six months last past: and that except tho Agent of Uie New York Herald, no man can tap Capt Tyler deeper than he can. With such a man, with such a start, it would be the extreme of folly for Uie Judge to contend, even suppose he put forth five columns of blarney in each of his papers from this day to tho d:iy when John Tyler and Loco Focoism shall be known to be one and indivisible. It won't do brother: you may as well give it up: Inud, eulogize, slave, toil, and practise every conceivable sort of subserviency, it will be of no avail : like the tic of first lovo, Uio attachment will bo found to bo inveterate, and ultimately the Judge will havo to walk Spanish. Look at the fugle-man, the AIndisonian ; see how it lauds Rhelt, Well or, and the whole corps of Loco Focos in Congress. What does all Uiat mean, but the foreshadowing of a treaty offensive and defensive, between John Tyler and the said Loco Focos? Each continuing in it present course, wo beg leave to ask whether Uio Herald or the Journal is most likely to be associated with tho "barn burners" after that event ? But we had liko to have forgotten to wish the Judge much iovof Veto Na 3. Hurrah for John Tyler and a protective Tariff! We think we can ace Uie J udge inarching round among his neighbors, Uie manufacturers of Stcubcnville, and congratulating Uiem upon tho influence which he exercised upon hi w Accidcncy," on the occasion of his late visit And docs his honor realty still think, that tho mere fact of his (Tyler's) being selected a worthy to run on the whig ticket, with Uie lamented Harrison, fettles Uie point, Uiat he ha a right to abuse Congress as a body, disregard all Uieir official acts and doings, aa well a the opinion of tho people themselves, and not in usurpation like Cromwell and Bonaparte? Cannot we have a few columns on Uioae points before dog-days ? What a charming thing is this notion of his honor about "chiding in a gentlemanly tone," when applied to all who will not agree that Congress is brought into existence barely for the purpose of serving as a target at which every executive minion may safely launch his ahafts; at Uio aame time that the executive is to ho fenced round with a slavish idea of veneration and false dignity, which shall operate as a perfect impunity. When Congress, Uie democratic branch of the Government, shall be hooted at by Uie conductors of a government press, Uicn i the public liberty in danger. Then will the political vultures perch Uicmsclves on the house tops, and with brutal hoiriinfr whet their savage beaks, preparatory to pouncing upon their victims; and the demagogue and the loafer will join in the frightful ptran of Veto!

THE PIPE LAYERS EXPOSED. Tho Grand Jury of the city of New York have made a presentment of the practice of the Police Magistrates and others in discharging prisoners from Black well's Island for the purpose of voting at elcc-Uons. The Grand Jury state that 71 prisoners were so unlawfully discharged previous to the last charter election, by police magistrates and aldermen, contrary to Uieir duty aa fuiUiful magistrates and good citizen. The presentment goes on to say : "Although the whole number of prisoner stated above were discharged at different dates between Uio aforesaid 20th March and 11th April vet it appears from evidence satisfactory to the Grand Jury that the whole number were detained in prison until late in the evening of the Ilth April, when Uiey wero transported to the citv in one case at least, under the im mediate care and supervision of one of the Deputy heepe.rs that they were minded mo aijjcrcm panics; auarlered at different vluccs in the cii, in one instance in a public wnkh room, provided with liquor, food and money, and that many ot said discharged vagrants voted at the different wards in the citu. Tho testimony submitted to the Grand Jury, has fullv satisfied them, that there was reasonable ground to believe that in granting the discharge aforesaid, hy the Police Justices and Aldermen aforesaid, and the actual discharge of the vagrants by tho Keeper and ucpiity jvecper oi me prison, mcy kttc uiiuch-crd by tfte improper and corrupt motive of enabling snid vagrants to vole at the potts of the several wards of the city, and with the view of unlawfully influencing Vie result of said election. The Grand Jury arc further of opinion, Unit the moral iniquity of these discharged vagrants voting at said election, rested in a tar greater degree upon uioso in omce ano power, who gavo them the opportunity to uo so, aim usou them a instruments in an unlawful and improper manner, than upon tliemselvcs. Justice, therefore, seems to the Grand Jury to demand, if not tho pun ishment nt least the exposure ot individuals who would thus prostitute tho dignity of their official stations, and degrade themselves as individuals beneath the stunding of tho poor, ignorant vagrants them selves, by a courso of action so utterly at variance with sound morals und good citizenship. hue, therefore, the Grand Jury would in pity to the pour deluded vagrant extend to him any indulgence which Christian charity would prompt they would hold up to merited obloquy, those who from their high stations and superior intelligence should not only have known but acted better. Tho Grand Jury are aware that offence of this nature in Uio caxe of judicial of ficer arc not indictable, and must as a sure and el- frctual remedy for the future correction of Uiis great evil, look to the power and influence of a sound and healthy public opinion, and the action of the proper authorities, either to impeach or remove a the case may require, all future offenders in this behalf. In making this presentment the Grand Jury are not aware of being actuated hy any other motive than to subserve the public good, under a deep sense of their high obligations as good citizens. They seek not so much punishment fur nast ollences, as tor uio tuiure correction of greut and admitted evils." The men engaged in una infamous business wot ill Loco Focos, and Uio vote thus obtained "enured" to tho benefit of Uie Loco Foco party. Was ever a more wicked, fraudulent and abandoned course of measures adopted by any party in Uiis or any other country, Uian Uie history of this charter election and the event growing out of it for two monUis past hove unfolded? In the election itself every species of corruption and fraud was employed to secure a fa vorable result Having been discarded by the peo-1 pie, the party leaders concocted various schemes for nullifying and overruling the will of the people Uiemselvcs. Ballots enough to change the result in one of the wards, wore unlawfully destroyed, and then a false return was mado of Uie result by the Inspectors. In another a return properly made out and signed by Uie Inspectors, was annulled and a partial return substituted in it place, without any form or warrant of law. In another a former Alderman pretended to hold over beyond tho term for which he had been originally elected a thing never before heard of and totally unwarranted. Then the Mayor refused to administer the oath of offico to members of Uie new council, as required by law, with a view to prevent them from taking Uicir seats, and to crown nil Uicir acts of usurpation and of invasion of public and private right, Uie fonuor officers of Uie corporation refused to surrender Uieir books and papers, money and oUier public property to their legally appointed successors, but compelled them to apply to Uie Supreme Court and Uien take an appeal to the Court of last resort, for a decision, the effect of which is to givo them quiet possession of what was never withheld before. Thus have the Loco Focos usurped tho city government fur two months, and the le gally constituted authorities have been kept out of their places by force and violence for Uiat term. And all this has been done inUicnomeof uDemocra cy:n What a desecration ot a title once honored and gloried in ! How it has fallen and been disgraced ! Tho people of Ohio will see by Uie above pre sentment, and from the facts fresh in Uie public recollection, that the pipe lnyers Uio violators of tho hallot box the contrivers of fraud and artifices to defeat the public will and the enemies of law and order, and the disturbers of the peace and tranquility of Uie community, aro exclusively of and among Uio opponents of the whig party. All Uie pipe laying, or illegal voting, ever perpetrated in the country, has been the work of tho Ijoco Foco party; and yet who can mil with a better show of indignant reproach against tho "pipe layers," Uian Sain Medary ? Pipe laying is hia ahsoluto horror. The bare suspicion of its enormities throws him into convulsions. Ho has never any specific charges to allege never puts his finger upon a case but pipe laying in general, diffused and intangiblo, is hi utter aversion. Yet strange aa it may seem, pipe laying to Uio tune of srptn hundred illegal vote in Mercer county, in 1HJU, and in several other instance in the western counties of this Stato, had no effect whatever upon his nervous system. Ho contemplated it then, and ha ever since with singular composure. So with this pipe laying in New York. We venture to predict Uiat the readers of the Statesman will never come to Uie slightest knowledge of the shameful circumstances disclosed in the presentment of the Grand Jury referred to, Uirough his columns, nor will he ever ex press a word of disapprobation of the moans used to accomplish the original frauds or to overt Uie conso sequences of their failure. And such a man is a lender of the " Democracy," and Democracy" flourishes by such means 1 THE WEATHER AND THE HARVEST. The wheat harvest was commenced in tho counties south of this, last week, and in Uiis and tho adjoin ing counties east and west, during the present week, We hoar no complaint of rust or blight where tho crop is already ripened. Tho weather, however, wo regret to say, has not been the most favorable. Several davs last week, and again on Sunday and Tues day of this week, Uie showers havo been general, and the fall of rain unusually abundant Wednesday and Thursday Uio air was cool and clear, and tho farmers must have mado rapid progress wiUi their work. This morning, however, another heavy thunder storm passed over Uiis section, and Uie day has been moist and unpropilioua. More rain must fall before another change can bo expected. In the I northern counties, and including a portion of Uie best wheat growing districts of Uie State, the harvest will not commence for a week or 'two yet We feci some apprehension for the consequences of this stato of tho weather upon the fields which are now maturing. There is one thing, however, in our favor. The nights have been cool, and the heats of the day are by no means up to the extreme. We have lately had Uie pleasure of passing through the country from Uie Lako to this place, and a more lux uriant and promising growth of wheat, it has never been our lot to behold. If it can be secured without material loss or injury, our granaries will be stored with an overflowing abundance for tho coming season. MR. CLAY. Tho Editor of Uie BoBton Courier says "the nom ination of Mr. Clay as a candidate for the Presidency seems to be assuming on imposing aspect:" bid .dds Uie editor we don't know about it we have supported Mr, Clay several timeB, when other people would not it has been Mr. Clay's misfortune that hia party has always had bad leaders, &c. &c. end- ng in a growl of discontent as though he was gitting sick of doing a good thing, and was really vexed to see the whole country hastening to consummate that for which ho had prayed so ardently and so long. Well old fellow if you are becoming tired of holding aloft Uie banner of Harry Clay, there are hundred of Uiousands of active, enUiusiastic young men, who have come into tho field since Uie times you speak of, and they are going for him with a perfect rush. Ho will be elected too so you had better hang on, NEW YORK CITY GOVERNMENT. It affords us pleasure to announce to our readers that the Court of Errors havo unanimously affirmed the decision of Uie Supreme Court, in Uio Mandamus cose against Mayor Morris; and that in consequence, tho Whig Common Council, and Uio numerous officers appointed under it, will now be permitted quietly to assume and exercise Uicir proper funcUons. Thus ends another effort to resist tho due course of law and defeat the expressed will of tho people, which liko its counterpart in Rhode Island, ought to cover its instigators and abetters wiUi everlasting infamy. CONTEMPLATED RECEPTION OF MARTIN VAN BUREN AT CLEVELAND. Wo observe with regret and vexation, Uiat the Whigs of Cleveland have consented to form the tail of a procession to be got up on Uie occasion of Mr. Van Burcn's expected visit, in the progress of his present electioneering tour. We did not conceive Uiat our friends of that city were the "gudgeons" to bite at such a " naked hook," nor will we believe it now until our eyes have witnessed Uie proof. Mr. Van Buren is no more entitled to the respect of the Whigs of Cleveland than Petticoat Allen or Sam Medary, who wiUi him aro equally candidates for a re-election to the stations Uiey have disgraced and the power they have abused. Is the lesson at Dayton to be so soon forgotten ? Mil' RUSSELL'S BENEFIT. If ever a man deserved a substantial testimonial of the admiration which is felt by this whole community for his ingenuity, skill and industry, that man is RUSSELL, tho inventor and constructor of the Planetarium, now exhibiting at the State House. The proceeds of tho exhibition and lecture to-night are to be appropriated for his sole benefit Let those who know Uie man, his worth and his deserts, manifest their sense of his personal merit, as well as of Uie favor he has conferred upon science itself, by a generous attendance this evening, and of course, a liberal contribution to Uie treasury box. Vtom the Richmond Whit;. MR. nOTTS' l.ETTKR Wl'r CII.MKNT OF THE I'KKSIDKM'. The country reader will find on Uie first page of our country impression, the admirable letter ot Mr. Bolts to the New York Committee of Invitation, and to it wo invite the special attention of Uie people of Uio United States, To the politicians, we have nothing to aay on the grave subject referred to in tho hitter part of Uio letter of Mr. B,; but of the sovereign people those who are, and long have been, the victims of a grinding misrule, and whose instiiu lions, under the operation of Executive usurpation, are being robbed of every characteristic of freedom, we do entreat a calm, and solemn consideration of Uie remedy suggested by Mr. B., for the grievances Uiat so heavily alllict Uie country. We are no alarmists, nor yet do we belong to tho class of sickly sentimentalists, who recoil from Uie no tion ot impeaching a resident ot the united States. We cherish no apprehension Uiat the infatuated im becile, who now bears a chance-gotten sway, can, in his day and generation, overturn the liberties of Uio Union; but our view is this: For a scries of years, miming through several successive Administrations, Executive Power has been advancing, asjumiug, each successive year, a bolder front and and erector gait, until grown audacious, from long impunity, it lias laiien almost into uie uaou oi inning wun tne popular right and interest. Now we say, that continuod acquiescence on the part ot Uio people, is not only pusillanimous, but frivolous in the extreme. It will invite continued aggression, until Uie public mind, become callous from constant repetition and long endurance, and forgetting Uial Uiere is a constitutional mode of redress, can never bo roused to Uie resentment of wrong, nnd Uie vindication of the public liberty. There is, indeed, in Uie public feeling, an insensibility which forebodes no good for the ultimate destiny of our country in an endurance of outrage a misapplied natienco which wo regard as any tiling but a virtuo in a free and spirited people. We do not halt for a moment in tho conviction, Uiat unless Uie march of Executive assumption be arrested it arrogance be rebuked our ft ce institutions are destined to inevitable ruin, and Uie people to endless misgovermnent and heartless oppression. And wo as much entertain the opinion boldly avowed by Mr. Botts, that Impeachment is the only remedy this side of Mr. Clay's elevation to Uio Presidency. We know of no oUier peaceable mode of checking Unit daring insolenco which ha been so long arrogating to itself Executive, Legislative and Judicial functions, concentrating all power in a single head, and for long yoara sporting with the dearest rights and best interest of Uie people. No other measure is known to us for bringing to his senses tho traitor who has dashed the thousand fond hopes of an expecting country; nor do we hesitato to believe, that an Impeachment would go farther to curb Executive Power, Uinn all oUier means combined, and would exert, in all future time, Uio happiest influence upon the conduct of our Rulers. Had General Jackson hcen impeached for his first outrage, we had had a good Government under his successor; and so if we arraign the present apology for a President, and drive him with ignominy from the station he dishonors, nta example will prove a solemn warning to all future Chief Magistrates, and we aliall hear no more, for years to come, of Executive usurpation.Why has this powor of Uio Constitution been permitted by a free people to lie dormant so long, when so numerous and so palHible occasions for its exercise havo been presented? And what but tho dor mancy ot this principle, in tho midst ot these occasions, has courted, stimulated, and fearfully euihold-ened Executive encroachment ? Our people havo not sufficiently estimated this feature ot tho Constitution. Impeachment ought to be, in our system, exactly what Uie power to withhold supplies is in Great Britain. It ought to be, and may ho mmle.tlio great Executive check. Whenever a Chief Magistrate exceeds liisj constitutional prerogative, let him be brought up to answer ; and a tew examples of Uio exercise of Uie power, would prove a niost effectual restraint upon Presidential mmdoing. Wo are glad Mr. Botts has opened Uio subject lor Uio consideration of the people. Ict us not bo told that Uiore aro not adequate causes for Impeachment Many outrages has Mr. Tyler perpetrated, which would havo cost the King of England his head, or of France his throne. At this time, wo will venture no specification, waiting until the veil be more fully removed from certain transactions; 1 and, for the present enquiring what has he not dono to merit impeachment r There nre those, we know, who would censure Uie letter of Mr. Botts as savoring of intolerance and violence; but we dispute the justice of the criticism. We have no censure for a liberty-breathing, tyranny-hnting spirit. We are no admirers of that lameness which crouches to oft-repeated and grievous wrong; nor are we prepared to approbate that craven spirit, which, in these degenerate days, so oftn confounds manliness with indiscretion. Vc like the true Sax on spirit which breathes through Mr. B.'s letter. H is the spirit which meets the crisis in public affair, which can alone save the Republic, re-enstamp upon the Constitution its primeval character, and bring back Uio "primal glories" of the Union; and thus thinking, we cannot withhold Uie humble meed of our approbation and encouragement from Uie public man who has Uie courage to exhibit it A letter wo subjoin is so expressive of our own views, as to save us the necessity of further remark. It was addressed by a distinguished citizen of New York to Mr. Botts, and is a well deserved compliment to that gentleman for the manly sentiments and tone of his letter; and though wo are not altogeUier certain that we are authorized so to do, we take the responsibility of giving it publicity : "New York, June 22d, 1842. "lion. John M. Botts: I have heard your letter read this evening, at National Hall, st Uie meeting convened to nominate Mr. Clay for the next Presidency; and I cannot forbear expressing to you my Uianks for daring to present to the People, under your name, Uie propriety of impeaching Uio President, John Tyler. It has been looked upon as impossible, and but few seem ever to have Uiought of the sub ject It ought to be done. The Constitution will never nave ns power Known until a rresiueni snan be impeached. The people will never know their power over their servants until a f resident ahall ne impeached. No future occasion can be looked for, when a party who puts a man into power, can havo ffood cause and heart to impeach him. Providence i as furnished us this occasion, and it is our duty to heed his indications. The causes of impeachment are abundant. " You will pardon this note from a stranger. The stimulant of public men is Uie approbation of those they serve. I am one of the multitude, and only do justice to myself when I assure you of the gratifica tion 1 received, from uie tact that a member ot Con gress had brought Uie impeachment of Uie President to Uio consideration of the People." FROM RHODE ISLAND. Hon. John C, Spencer, Secretary at War, who fonsed through this city Thursday, was in Providence 'riday, holding u long consultation wiUi Uie Governor and Council of Uie State. Tho whereabout ot that illustrious personage, Governor Dorr, is not yet ascertained. The valiant "ucneral" iJ'VVnll, and his equally valiant companions, who placed themselves in a stone houso in Ilurrillville, and declared that Uiey would not be taken alive, fled at tho approach of Uie Sea nciblns and (inlets. They followed the example of Uieir illustrious lender. A largo number of arms have been seized at Woon- socket, where martial law yet prevails. No person is allowed to bo in the streets atter v ociock in the evening, without a permit from the commanding officer, and the citizens say Uiat Uiey are glad to have some quiet Tho troops from Woonsockct brought in HI prison ers on 'Thursday. Mure of Uie troop are leaving for their homes. The following appears in the Providence Chroni cle : To quiet Uie apprehensions, even of Uie most timid, in every portion of the State, we are auUiorized to say, that every preparation has been mado, from a spear to a broad-sword, from a Hint to a patent repenting carbine, to concentrate upon any, Uio most distant point in Uio State, a large and efficient force of mounted men and infantry ; Uie latter to be provided, at a moment's warning, with ample means of quick tran-iK)rtation. The Major General com-mauding is fully nlivo to the present state of Uimgs; and, as he has taken the responsibility of, so he means to take all necessary and proper means for, Uie protection of every portion of Uio State, Tho disturbers of Uie public peace need not flutter them selves that the withdrawal of the troops will enable Uiem to work their own wild pleasure, as they have hiUierto dono, upon our well affected citizens; but that tho most summary justice will be done upon all those who may manifest by any acts, a disposition to renew Uicir la'to wicked nnd treasonable attempt It should never be forgotten, that there may be circumstances, in which forbearance will cease to be a virtue. lwo gentlemen connected with the Loco foco IJoHton Press, who entered Uie Chepnlchet encampment after tho flight of Dorr, only to report Uie doings there, were arretted, but after a short imprisonment liberated by Uio interposition "of Thurlow Weed, Major Bank bead, U. S. Army, and Mr. Anthony, of lite Providence Journal. They give a ludicrous account of Uie company they wore caught in. The legislature were in session, and about too e- nte a Commission for Uio trial of prisoners, some of whom had been already liberated. 1 he froviricnco Journals seem to think Dorr is in this city. We think not, but if he is, he is not safe here, and will soon be arrested. The town can hold him no more. Mr. Weed, of the Albany Evening Journal, writes as follows from Chepachct: jyorraiianuoneu iiisironMnn mommy evening, uik-ing with him Michael Walsh and about uiirty of his New )ork "hpartan Hand." lhere was no person left in Dorr's camp possessing either the intelligence or the talent to guide or govern tho miserable men who had been abandoned by uicir recusant Chief. Dorr left about (JOO men on the ground. They dis charged Uieir pieces and dispersed an hour boforo Col. iirown came up. I found about l(KM troops under arms at Chenachet, and fine, gallant spirits they are. The whole Slate, wearied and annoyed by constant agitation and ag gression, is aroused. The spirit of 7tl lives in the oHoins of tho descendant of the man who defend ed Rhode Island in Uiat day. The blood of sires who tought in tho Kovolution, now running through Uie veins of Uicir sons, was ready to be poured out for Uicir State. Four-fifths of all Uiis military array is composed of Uie Sons and Grandson of Uie Green's, and Gluey', tho Ward', Uio Updike's, and other Uovolutionnry I' at riots. Among Uiem, 1 had tho pleasure of being introduced to Capt Green, a Grand-son of the Revolutionary General who was in all things second only to Washington, 1 also saw Doct Perry,of Newport, Hon of the Hero of Lake Erie, who is Surgeon in Uie Newport troops. Fathers and Sons w ere found in Uie ranks together, and in one Company Uiere was a FaUier, Son and Grandson in the same platoon. A letter has been shown us from Westerly, which sp jaks of five or six arrests Uiere, Dorr's Sheriff being one. THE REVENUE AND ITS COLLECTION. Very great confusion is likely to occur, itaj poars, nt all thu Custom Houses, in consequence, first, of the doubt whether Uiere he any revenue law in existence, and, secondly, should Uie law be yet in forc, of the absence of any provision by taw of Uie D'crim of ascertaining the home valuation. On Una subject wo find Uie following paragraphs from two ot Uie principal seaport t From itw United Stairs GaMie. Wo are told that the trouble experienced it the Cmtnm-House yesterdny was inexpressibly (Treat and it is believed Uiat the business cannot be carried on in the present state of legislation. The collector, it is stated, has received hint met ions from Was'iing-tnn to levy a duty of twenty per cent, Aome mtih'nn, payable in cash, without credit, upon all article not apeciticd in the list of free goods, Rut there is no means of testing Uie valuation. Gin, Uiat may be considered worth a dollar a gallon hero, though we suppose it would cost in Holland not more Uian forty or forty-five cent a gallon, might in some places of excessive temperance, bo valued at twenty cents. Tako, for example, the port of Plymouth, (Mass.) Uie shire town of a county in which Uiere is not a place for retailing liquor, and where, perhaps, a gallon o gin is not drunk in a year. Would gin be consider ed worth as much as in some places where Uio demand has not censed ? Wo published, some time since, the law which i now operative since the veto. The section doe not sny what duties shall bo laid for the purpose of raising such revenue rs mny be necessary to sn economical ndininisirntion of the Government" Home vn hint i mi and cash payments are also designated. These duties are not laid, and Uie Government is now being carried on by the Executive. Curreipundt'iice ol'tlw United sjlMes (iatHt. New York, Fain ay, P.

None of our merchants, as far as I can find, will pay any duties under these laws except under protest S'ime person has been silly enough to write to the St Imis Reporter, that Mr. Van Huron was recetr ed here with enthusiasm ! If there was enthusiisin, it was not among the People but confined to two individuals, who mnnnpoiuod moslnt the lims and ntlention of the defeated candtdnte, much to the di-sntislaction of tho rank and file of Uie party.
